The Prix Versailles has revealed the 12 latest world winners in the Shops & Stores, Shopping Malls, Hotels and Restaurants categories, bringing the total number of World Titles awarded this year to 21.
Held at UNESCO Headquarters on 12th September 2019, The World Awards Ceremony was attended by many ambassador, supporting their countries’ representatives in the competition.
